We are in need of those of you who want to use your means to give unconditionally. Far too many give in order to elevate their position, to increase sales, or ‘for a return on investment’ Giving should be about the beneficiary.
In this case the beneficiaries are the Homeless.
No, at this time we are not 501(c)3 however, as of 3/16/09 we filed the 501c paperwork with our attorney, but for some reason our attorney decided to drop the ball and so now it has put us off track. Personally I believe it happened for a reason and so I am not pursuing it any further at this time. However, everything we provide to those we help is 100% Free of Charge, done in a charitable manner.
Straight Ahead Outreach's activities are based out of Knoxville, TN and has been designed for individuals and/or companies who want to invest in something you believe in with the understanding that you will not make a profit or achieve a monetary gain from your investment, but rather you will have the assurance and proof that you are helping someone “Take Back Their Life.” You will be supporting an organization performing the vital work you believe in although the business is not a 501c 3 Non Profit although everything we do is Charitable and our products, supplies and services are free to those we help.
Straight Ahead Outreach-Taking Back Your Life, will be designed to not make a profit through its charitable services assisting Homeless Communities and operating similar to a non-profit. Sort of a “Pay it Forward” if you will. "Gifts” will be accepted. Taxes and tax documents will be filed as normal. Write-offs, deductibility as normal business will allow. We will also conduct “self audits” and converse with the IRS to determine additional deductibility for businesses to make it more cost effective and appealing to you, the potential Gifter.
